I haven't pin to a pinball show since 2011 so I think it's about time to go! Tickets bought, flight booked. Yay!

Quoted from NWPinballshow:Definitely our largest number of games and a surprisingly large turnout for Friday, usually Friday is when we have time to work through repairs and get everything running well, but we hit the ground running! You can really tell how much the hobby has expanded over the past couple years and also how ready people were for an event like this after not doing many events for the past 2 years.
And it's really great how many rare, 2.0/revisited games, and brand new games ended up making it, along with so many classic WPC, 80s and EM games. Such a good mix of games!
Great show so far, and the turn out is incredible! Well done!

I will agree on the EM side. Everyone veered towards the left side to play the newer games which is a shame considering the variety available. My goal was to focus on games I had never played before which worked out great - I was able to get on most every EM and a few of the earlier DMDs. I, too, was impressed how well taken care of most of them were. People really have done a great job keeping them up.
But yes, headphones. I had a cable to connect to any machine that had a headphone jack but didn't use it. I streamed some great music and didn't leave with a headache. It was loud!
I didn't take many, but here are a few. I thought the Fast Pinball/Haggis "Fathom" was gorgeous. Not my favorite game, but stunningly lit and it really felt good to play - very tight. I also enjoyed the Zaccaria console games and those from Japan which is not something you see every day. I was having way too much fun playing to take too many pictures!
